I think about it for some seconds when I finally give in for the first time. What do I have to lose anyway, is the question I'm asking myself. I take the cigarette from her hand, that she's been holding up to me since she asked the question. I breathe in the toxic air, but as soon as I do I start coughing. I hear Ashlyn laughing in the background. "That happens most of the time when it's peoples first time smoking, don't worry about it." she laughs. I'm still trying to catch my breath when Ashlyn asks me if I want another hit. 'Why not?' says the voice in my head. "Why not?" I say out loud this time. I take another hit of the cigarette that is still in my hand. This I'm actually able to breathe the toxic air in without having to cough. "Mhm." I hum quietly. "You like it?" she asks me. "I do, it's different." "Different to what?" "Just different." I softly speak. It's different than being the 'goodie two shoes' everyone always calls me. And I like that. It calms me down. "You're wearing the ring I gave you." she says looking at my hand in awe. "Ofcourse I am." I say which makes her smile.

Before I know it, I'm taking a third hit of the cigarette that Ashlyn offered me some minutes ago. "May I say you look very hot smoking." she suddenly says. Which makes me choke on air. "Thank you?" I say hesitantly. She just laughs. "You know what would make you look even hotter?" she says while looking at me. "Tell me." I tell her interested in what she will say. "Let me show you." And there she goes searching through her messy bag again. I laugh at this. I take a peak at her bag. 'Wow that shit is really messy.' Is all I think. I smoke some more of the cigarette resting in my hand. "Finally!" I hear her say under her breath. She stands ups and sits in front of me, instead of next to me. Just like the other day when she painted my nails. Then I see what she's holding, it's an eye pencil. "Close your eyes." she says and I do as she says. I feel her tracing a line just above my lash line. I've always wanted to try make up like this, but never actually tried it. I have done some basic make up stuff, but never eyeliner or eye pencil. "Open your eyes for me." she says quietly, because she's focused. I notice she does that a lot whenever she's focused. When she was painting my nails she also talked very quietly. "Look up." I look up after she said that. And she traces a line right under my eye.

"All done." she tells me excitedly. "Yes, this is definitely your look. You're hot, Tory" My heart just skipped a beat, I think. She grabs the almost out cigarette from my hand with a smirk on her face. She takes a hit while studying my face to see how she did on the eye pencil. She throws the cigarette on the ground and crushes it with her feet. She grabs her phone from her backpocket and clicks on something. I hear the sound of her taking a photo. "Ashlyn!" I shout. "Why are you taking photos?" "Relax, it was just one. Besides that, do you wanna see how you look or not?" "Show me then." I roll my eyes. She grins, sitting next to me on her skateboard again. She turns her phone my way and shows me the photo she just made of me. "I actually love it." I tell her. "Me too, it looks very good on you." she says happy of the make up she put on my face.

"Have you ever stood on a skateboard?" she asks me all of a sudden. "No, that shit scares me." I laugh at myself for really living up to the name 'goodie two shoes'. She stands up, "Come on then." I groan, rolling my eyes. "Do I really have to do this?" "Not if you don't want to." she says with a puppy face. I laugh and decide to give into it. I stand up and she holds out her hands for me. I look at them, not knowing what to do. "Grab my hands, Tory." Oh yeah that makes sense. I grab her hands and she instructs me how to stand on the skateboard. The skateboard is moving a bit, which scares me, but it's fun. Without warning me beforehand, Ashlyn starts walking. Which makes the skateboard move along with her. "Ashlyn.." I say scared. "Relax, I got you." That's exactly when the skateboard slips right from under my feet. I scream on my way to the ground. But when I open my eyes, I'm not on the ground. She caught me, before I could even fall. "I said I got you. You didn't believe me?" she says with that smirk on her face again. I awkwardly laugh while getting out of her grip. "Let's just keep it to sitting on the skateboard." I tell her. "For now." she says still with that smirk on her face. I just hum, knowing I'm not gonna do that shit again. Ashlyn runs to get the skateboard back, since it went a long way across the skatepark. She comes back this time on the skateboard. "So what about you show me some of your skateboard skills then?" I challenge her. "Sure." she says confidently.

"So how was that?" she asks out of breath from what she just did. "I have no idea what you just did, but it looked amazing." I say amazed by what she did on the skateboard. "Did I look cool?" she asks me. "Ofcourse you did. You always do." I say, but the last part under my breath. "I heard that." she says amused.
